SFR Communications Connector
Features
Connection
The Solder Feeder for Automation must be controlled by a Robot/PLC/Computer. JBC developed
RS232 Robot Communication Protocol. (Available at www.jbctools.com/jbcsoftware.html)
The SFR-A can be connected with a five-pins communications cable (Ref. 0020261).
See the table below for a description of Communication Connector pin distribution:
Communications Connector
Pin Color Description
1 Brown Power supply input:
24Vdc (±5%). 1.5 A current required
2 White Serial input: RS232 RX
3 Blue Common reference:
GND for RS232, power supply and switch.
4 Black Switch input:
0V or 24V to start feeding. Leave it open to stop.
5 Grey Serial output: RS232 TX

The SFR Solder Feeder works together with one of the different GSFR Guide Kits, available for the various solder
wire diameters, with or without solder wire perforation. GSFR kits are sold separately.

Assembly: GSFR* Wheels to SFR
For this operation, disconnect the device, and dismantle the Cover by pushing the tabs. Use the
allen key and the spanner to assemble the following components.
1. Insert the Intermediate Nozzle until its collar rests against the housing and tighten the screw.
2. Assemble the Guide Wheel and tighten the screw. If you use a Guide Kit without Solder
Wire Perforation assemble the Support Wheel.
3. If you have a Guide Kit with Solder Wire Perforation assemble the Blade first, then mount the
Blade Clamp onto the same axis and tighten the screw. If you use a Guide Kit without Solder
Wire Perforation, assemble the Traction wheel.
Caution: handle the blade carefully to avoid injury.
4. Insert the Inlet Nozzle into the hole and tighten the screw.

1. Assemble the SFR to the RBA with the screws.
2. Assemble the GSFR Guide Tube to the RBA and tighten the screw.
3. Assemble the Outlet Nozzle onto the Dispensing Tube.
4. Assemble the GSFR Bushing into the SFR hole and tighten the screw.
5. Finally attach the Reel Support to the SFR with its screws.

If mounting SFR independently from RBA, the Electrical Insulator is required.
Assemble the Insulator to your device with its screws, followed by the SFR to The insulator with its
screws.
The Electrical Insulator must be assembled for the tool to work properly.
Do not use the SFR without insulator if it is mounted without the RBA.

Solder Wire Loading
The GSFR must be assembled previously.
1. Feed the Solder Wire into the Inlet Nozzle until it reaches the wheels.
2. Make sure the wire passes through the Intermediate Nozzle and enters into the Guide Tube.
Wire feeding is controlled by an external controller (Robot/PLC/Computer). See the Robot Commu-
nication Protocol for SFR unit at www.jbctools.com/jbcsoftware.htm
